ICEPURE PRO 4396508 Replacement Refrigerator Water Filter - Removes

In this review of the ICEPURE PRO 4396508 replacement water filter, the bottom line is simple: it is for homeowners who need a reliable, certified replacement for Whirlpool and compatible refrigerator models and want strong contaminant reduction without paying for an OEM. The reviewer found it installs easily, fits the listed models, and delivers noticeably improved taste by removing chlorine and pharmaceutical residues. The main reason to buy is its independent certifications that target heavy metals and common chemical contaminants, making it a practical choice for families concerned about lead and PFAS-related compounds.

Key Features

• NSF/ANSI 401 certification: Independently reduces common pharmaceuticals and endocrine disruptors such as phenytoin, ibuprofen, naproxen and estrone for safer everyday drinking water.
• NSF/ANSI 53 certified: Targets heavy metals with proven reduction of lead and mercury, addressing a primary health concern for households.
• Lead-free materials: Constructed with BPA-free, food-grade plastic and certified under NSF/ANSI 372 to minimize leaching and material contamination.
• Broad compatibility: Designed to replace many Whirlpool and third-party part numbers and fit popular refrigerator models, simplifying replacement shopping.
• Multiple safety standards: Certified to European EC-1935/2016, ROHS, REACH, TUV and Australian Water Mark, reflecting manufacturing and material controls.

Who It's For

This filter is best for owners of Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag and compatible refrigerators who want an affordable, third-party replacement that meets multiple NSF standards and tackles both heavy metals and organic contaminants. It is especially suitable for households that noticed chlorine taste or want to reduce trace pharmaceuticals and endocrine-altering chemicals from their drinking water.

Shoppers who require appliance manufacturer warranty-specific OEM parts or who need filters certified for capacities or flow rates not listed here should look elsewhere. Those needing an under-sink system with higher long-term capacity or a reverse-osmosis setup should consider other product types.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Meets NSF/ANSI 401 and 53 certifications, providing documented reduction of pharmaceuticals and heavy metals including lead.
• Easy to install with a secure fit in compatible refrigerator models and clear compatibility listings.

Cons

• As a refrigerator drop-in filter, it is not a whole-house solution and has the same limited service life typical of fridge filters (customers report 4-6 months usage).
